I have driven one and despised it. It ran out of battery way too fast, so a 4 hour car ride turned into an 8 hour one because I needed to charge so often
When was this?
We did a trip with my friends' Tesla earlier this year. Normally would have taken us 8 hours, now it took 10 (or maybe it was even 12h instead of 10).
The car also wasn't properly charged the night before for some reason, so we left with half a "tank". That added an extra stop. I also think there were a lot of traffic problems which contributed in the extra time.
I also don't mind to stop every 2 hours or so to charge. Perfect time for a bathroom/coffee/food break. But I'm not used to driving long distances. I know some people like to drive for 4 or 5 hours straight.
I'll typically drive 12 hours without a stop. I hate having to stop, better take your piss before we get going because you'll be doing it out the window.
Do you drive a truck that has a tank to go the 12 hours without stopping? Also #1 and #2, how?
